vcl - How should I do a date and time range selection in my Delphi application? -


i want user able specify "tuesday , 10am till 11am".

can 1 complex control, or better off 3 separate simpler controls, such combo boxes, 1 day , 1 each start/stop times?

would better off 3 combo boxes, 1 day , 1 each start/stop times?

go whatever solution doesn't require natural language processing. it's less "cool" , might bit obsolete, bet it's easier users because can selection mice , know want. natural language hard, people might miss-spell things, enter impossible data or confusing data. do if enter this:

"marţi, de la 22 la 21" 

(intentionally written in non-english, reversed hours in 24 hour format!). , don't think asking non-native-english speakers write dates in english, it's torture.

in other words, unless have google's ability process natural languages in multiple languages, go plain multi-combo-box setup, proper editors each segment: 1 date, 2 times.
